Place and Location

The forum will be held in Tsukuba International Congress Center, which is located in the central Tsukuba Science City, Japan. The city is world- renowned in science and technology. More than 100 academic institutes and universities are locating in the city. You can enjoy the most beautiful scenery of this city and Mt. Tsukuba. It takes about 100 minutes from New Tokyo International Airport (Narita) to Tsukuba Center by the rapid bus called “airport liner NATT’S”. To go to ITC Nagasaki from Tsukuba, you take a highway bus to Haneda Airport in Tokyo (120 min.) and then take an airplane for Nagasaki.
